My Mainboard only supports a single nvme-drive. thats why i store the os and the data of my vm/lxc on it. everything else are good old hdd. is it possible to restore this drive, if i install pbs as a lxc on this very drive?
sorry, i tried to read through some guids already and the more i read the more im confused /(
You should not be able to restore the whole drive, like you would restore a VM. This is because you would first need to have Proxmox VE already running to restore the drive which runs Proxmox VE.
If your NVME drive dies, you would have to do what I outlined above:
lxccontainer or VM)Though, to reiterate, I do not know anything about
lxccontainers.I did go through the Proxmox VE backup settings on my server, but I could not find a way to backup
lxccontainers, only VMs. So maybe Proxmox VE does not support backing uplxccontainers? Or maybe it just does not show anylxccontainer backup option because I do not run anylxccontainers?I did find this github about Proxmox VE and LXC containers, but I didn't test it and it only has 1 star, so I'd be wary.
As a tipp: Even if your motherboard only supports 1 NVME drive, you might still be able to use multiple. You could buy a PCIe card with M.2 NVME slots, if you have any unused PCIe slots on your mainboard. With this, you should still be able to have a RAID setup.
thx for that write up. seems i didnt understand you correctly the first time (english is not my native language). i already used all pci-slots with sata extensions and a nic. its just a mini atx board with a n100 cpu, so my options are limited. i could mirror the disk to a sata ssd though.
No problem, english isn't my native language either.
In the end, it just boils down to: are you okay with a downtime while reinstalling the hypervisor and restoring from backups? If yes, you don't need a RAID. If no, a RAID of some kind would probably be the most sensible choice.
